Miriam ben Joachim, espoused by Joseph the Righteous, was a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. Her image is to be found in Rev. 12:1.

If you're going to cite Rev 12:1 as being Mary then you have to include Rev 12:2 as well which would undercut Rome's claim on the Immaculate Conception.

1A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; 2and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth. Rev 12:1-2 NASB

You're also having to ignore a number of other texts that indicate Mary and Joseph did have other children on their own.

Nobody in Scripture is identified as a biological child of Mary except Jesus.

Please show the scripture where Mary and Joseph had any children.

Thanks.
